Obamacare Rules Pressuring Docs to Ask Patients if They Own Guns

Feds using Medicare reimbursements to force doctors to ask about guns, according to medical professional.

The federal government is pressuring more and more medical doctors to ask their patients if they own firearms, according to a healthcare professional.

The feds are using Medicare reimbursements along with the new electronic medical record format standardized by the government to coerce doctors to ask patients about their guns and other personal questions, reported Dr. Mark Kestner, who writes for The Murfreesboro Post.

“In essence, the feds are using their control of Medicare reimbursement to manipulate how your physician handles your personal health information,” he wrote. “As part of that process, the doctors are required to seek the answers to a certain number of personal questions from all their patients, including asking about gun ownership.”
